  2. Bathymetric chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathymetric_chart

    Bathymetric surveys and charts are associated with the science of oceanography, particularly marine geology, and underwater engineering or other specialized purposes. Bathymetric map of Medicine Lake, California. Bathymetric data used to produce charts can also be converted to bathymetric profiles which are vertical sections through a feature.

    Whitney organized the first comprehensive survey of California, and the first complete topographic maps of the state were completed under him. Mount Whitney, the tallest peak in California is named after him. The State Mining Bureau was established in 1880, and the position of State Geologist was changed to State Mineralogist.

    However, the plan is to eventually integrate a bathymetric model to describe the seabed. The data are presented in multiple levels with OpenLayers on the base map of OpenStreetMap. The base map contains all the possible objects from OpenStreetMap. [2] OpenSeaMap includes additional layers such as aids to navigation, ports and temporary racing ...

  6. Satellite-derived bathymetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite-derived_bathymetry

    SDB methods can provide bathymetric data with varying spatial resolution, depending on the analysis method and its underlying physics. The most common methods for coastal and very high resolution (1 to 30 meters) bathymetric data are based on multispectral satellite sensors and the analytical inversion of the radiative transfer equation - often referred to as physical SDB methods [2] or ...

  7. Hydrographic survey - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrographic_survey

    The General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO) is a publicly available bathymetric chart of the world's oceans. The project was conceived with the aim of preparing a global series of charts showing the general shape of the seafloor. Over the years it has become a reference map of the bathymetry of the world's oceans for scientists and others.

  8. Nautical chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautical_chart

    Nautical charts are based on hydrographic surveys and bathymetric surveys. As surveying is laborious and time-consuming, hydrographic data for many areas of sea may be dated and are sometimes unreliable. Depths are measured in a variety of ways. Historically the sounding line was used.
